Five urban and five rural high-risk roads and intersections, plus 20 urban pedestrian projects are getting attention during the current financial year that runs from July to the end of June next year. You can stay up to date with NZTA projects here.
The urban road safety improvements include a signalised pedestrian crossing on Taharoto Rd in Takapuna and new traffic lights at a busy intersection in Wiri. Rural safety improvements are planned in Dairy Flat, Silverdale, Waiuku and a new intersection at Popes Rd and Porchester Rd at Takanini.
A further $5 million is being spent on improving road markings and better signage on more than 400km of rural roads.

Preventing social isolation
All of us are social beings by nature, and feeling isolated can often have a negative impact on our well-being and health outcomes. Keeping in touch with the people we know can have many benefits for our physical health, mental health and wellbeing.
Did you know that…
About half of older New Zealanders experience some level of loneliness in our lives.
Older people are particularly vulnerable to social isolation or loneliness due to loss of friends and family, mobility or income?
A person can be socially isolated, but not lonely?
lacking social connections is as damaging to our health as smoking 15 cigarettes?
Loneliness and social isolation are not the same thing?
